Even though Lady Zhao's lavish glamor had initially put him off, Xiao Yiren could not help but admit that Zhao Youyue's identity as 'Tycoon Youyue' changed everything . A short chat with her, and she had given him so many fresh ideas and inspirations that he had walked away as a better writer…
Naturally, Xiao Yiren was peppered with questions from his parents as he was on the way back . They were asking things about Lady Zhao . He recalled how he was helplessly suppressed by her the entire journey, and could only laugh sheepishly to their questions . Unable to zero in on the situation, his parents instead said things about how Zhao Youyue was actually a pretty good person . No, she was just too good . No one at her age would be able to match her .
Xiao Yiren remembered her vividly in his heart, as he had just seen another side of Zhao Youyue . Perhaps, one day, he might choose her as the main character of his novel . Of course, it would still revolve around the premise of shifting worlds . He could then confidently make Lady Zhao single .
Later, Xiao Yiren was asked by Lady Zhao to create a cameo character called 'Wu Lili . ' It was supposed to turn his "Shift! The Female Elite Scholar" into something exceptional, but instead, it all crumbled down . He struck rock bottom . . .
He blamed himself for it . He was just too young . His first book had been too successful for his own good . He became overly engrossed with writing, until finally, his psyche shattered into shards that showered around him .
To this, he felt extremely apologetic towards his loyal reader, Lady Zhao . Therefore, the next time Xiao Yiren heard that Zhao Youyue would be joining him for dinner, he decided to stay out of it .
Xiao Yiren had initially longed for romance and freedom . He had thought that he would have been able to experience a profoundly moving relationship with the perfect reader in his heart, Zhao Youyue . However, in the end, he lost all contact with Zhao Youyue . . .
Unless Xiao Yiren stands on top of the literary world, he would never have the courage to face Zhao Youyue again . The most he could do was write about her in his own stories .
Xiao Yiren knew that Zhao Youyue was the only girl who had moved his heart in his entire life . She was just too perfect and excellent . She was just like one of his fictional female characters . However, he was just too useless . When a girl like this appeared in real life, he had to avoid her, as he was a cold-hearted male chauvinist .
Fame would not solve the weakness in his personality . He was a coward . He only felt like he mattered to the world whenever he wrote a story .
The only thing in this world that gave him warmth was his readers' love . Sadly, the Elite Scholar book currently gave him nothing but malice . He only had himself to blame, which did not help his already poor confidence . He still could not tell if he could recover from this .
Fortunately, there were still many tolerant fairy-godmother/father readers in this world . They brought the depressed 'Drunk for Her' out of his slump . He finally succeeded in attaining the 'High God' position in his niche, unpopular genre .
Sadly when that finally happened, he could no longer find the missy who had moved his heart in the beginning . His successful work had been based on the girl who had moved his heart .
Others might even think that he was talking nonsense and stretching facts . Little did they know that the real world actually housed such a missy . They also did not know that her name was Zhao Youyue . She was lively, cheerful, and elegant . She was not short of 'friends' around her . She enjoyed a life full of luxury and refinement . She had always been single, as no man could walk inside her heart .
She was far too experienced . She had seen far too much . No trick was new to her . Sincerity would never win her over . She just wanted to live in bliss . It was her right .
She would never know that a guy who she once knew had written a multi-million word-length romance novel that was based on her . Every single word and paragraph in there professed his love towards her . He had placed her on the highest of all pedestals .
In reality, they shared nothing in common . At least, he could pour all of his love on her in his writings . Even if she never reads it, his readers most definitely appreciated it, judging by the success .
On Zhao Youyue's hand, that one dinner was the only time she ever encountered him . After that dinner, Lady Zhao had said that she wanted to see some same-aged girls the next time they met up for dinner . As for same-aged guys, that was a no-no . Well, she could do with male creators .
It had been a most odd directive . What were the odds of them finding an excellent male creator who was her age?
Some people just needed to enjoy the worlds created by creators . They did not have to create things on their own . Basically, their parents would never allow them to go down that path . On the contrary, they should learn how to manage other humans . They were bound to inherit empires from their families, they should learn to act like a ruler .
The majority of creators were essentially failures . Even more so, if you compared them to those who were born with status . Therefore, failures could only pursue success in the spiritual world .
They could earn success in reality upon death . If they had created classics, those books would never be forgotten . They might even have the power to form entirely new source worlds . On the other hand, those so-called rulers and superiors would be forgotten by history .
Zhao Youyue gave every outstanding creator her respect . In her eyes, these cute creators were more interesting, compared to those who slogged meaninglessly every day .
Zhao Youyue soon put everything that happened today behind her . She did not even finish reading 'Shift! The Female Elite Scholar . ' The first few chapters of this book had not been that bad . It was just that how the Otaku male chauvinist appreciated beauty was quite off-putting for her . The last few chapters she read had been repetitive . The world was vast . It was inevitable that his popularity would decline .
Interestingly, Zhao Youyue had entered this work at random in the past . However, she did not think that it could have been saved . It would be better to tear it apart and make her exit…
Thus, she had possessed 'Wu Lili' and tore the place up . She even gave her god-like, nature-ending powers . No author would accept such ideas into the final cut . Little did she expect 'Drunk For Her' to be so stupid . He was as stupid as a pig!
Zhao Youyue was also ashamed of her actions . Both of them had ended up being afraid of meeting each other .
Zhao Youyue tried to compensate for the whole situation by creating a new account to support 'Drunk For Her' from the shadows . So, do not think that 'Drunk For Her' was a good author, just because he had earned a few Sect Masters in a particular book . In reality, Zhao Youyue had been singularly responsible for it all!
'Drunk For Her' thought that he had become a God . Little did he know that Zhao Youyue had tried to compensate him by going around, reading groups and promoting him, asking them to give 'Drunk For Her' a High God level . He could have become a High God five years ago, but she had ruined it all!
This was the future . It was the milestone on the road to cultivation for 'Drunk For Her . ' To Lady Zhao, however, it was just a trivial matter .
Later, 'Drunk For Her' somehow learned of the truth . Perhaps it came to him in the form of a revelating dream . He might have even lost his mind from all the criticism of the book, 'Shift! The Female Elite Scholar' . Therefore, after writing more than 1 . 4 million words in this book, after laying out so many words, it was just to tell the readers the truth –
It was not his fault at first . He had grown arrogant . Of course, everything was actually Zhao Youyue's fault . Of course, the missy was too kind . She had tried to compensate him discreetly .
